In the middle of the Congress vs BJP competition in Chhattisgarh, the small parts can queer on the ground – Firstpost

On Friday, in the second phase of voting, seventy seats in Chhattisgarh went to the polls, in which the Congress and the BJP, the Aam Aadmi Party of Aam Aam and a few other parties are in the race.

The thing factor is the balable banner belt of Bilaspur, which has 25 districts – nearly a third of the 90 state assembly seats. This is where the battle should be fierce. The congress, which swept the 2018 elections, failed to make a lot of progress in this region, while the BJP, has successfully succeeded.

Tribal vote has traditionally gone to the congress. But this time, the small parts can queer on the ground.

The Congress of JULTA CHHATTISGARH-JOGI (JCC), the Hamar RAJ party, launched by SARV Adivasi Samaj led by the former chief of the Congress Arvind Netam, and AAP presented candidates of the caste and the tribes planned on general seats . If they even get a fraction of the votes, it can play in the hands of the BJP.

Of the 24 seats of the division in 2018, the Congress won 12 while the BJP won seven. The Bahujan Samaj party of Mayawati won two seats, then the janta Congress jata, the janta chhattisgarh congress (Jogi), won Three seats.

The election of the assembly of Chhattisgarh will be a test for the Minister -in -Chief Bhupeh Baghel, on which the Congress pinpoints its hopes. In an interview with the NDTV diffuser earlier this week, Baghel said that the party would earn more than 75 seats – much more than in 2018. He asked questions about a possible anti -tale, he said that the party had worked Hard for five years, during making -19 pandemic and after.

“Whether farmers, workers, tribes, traders or industrialists, we supported everyone during the pandemic … We have plans for everyone. There is no one who may claim to have lost anything in five years, “he said.

The Congress won the Raman Singh BJP government in 2018, with 68 of the 90 seats in the assembly in the state. Baghel, who rebuilt the party in the state after the Maoist attack by Jhiram Ghati 2013, was credited with the victory. He was chosen for the first job by the party leadership above three other contenders.

This time, the BJP did not declare a ministerial candidate in chief, choosing to carry out his campaign by projecting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The party’s objective was the other backward classes and tribes, which make up part of the population both in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, which is also going to polls today.

The congress drops to its history. In Diwali, the chief minister Baghel said that his government would provide 15,000 rupees per year to all women in the state if the congress returns to power.
